Ousted Reporter Calls
Spain 'Largest Prison'
iy th« Aueclatad Prat *
NEW YORK, April 16.—-Francis
E. McMahon, New York Post corre
spondent whose press credentials
were lifted by the Spanish govern
ment, said on his arrival at La
Guardia Field yesterday that he
felt he had just left “one of the
largest prisons in the world."
A State Department protest in
his behalf to the Foreign Ministry
last week was unsuccessful.
Mr. McMahon described Franco
Spain as "a prison housing 25,000,
000 people, some of the finest people
1 have ever met,” and said “the vast
majority of people are against the
Franco regime.”
He said his difficulty with the
government arose from one of his
dispatches quoting an attack by a
Falange (official Franco Party) uni
versity newspaper’s attack on For
eign Minister Martin Artajo, charg
ing him with engaging in “shady
deals.” The writer said the dis
patch was intercepted and nev$r
reached the Post.
Mr. McMahon said Artajo charged
him with prejudice and said his
articles “had consistenely shown
unmeasured hostility against the
Franco regime.”
“There is no press freedom for
foreign correspondents in Spain.
They are making an attempt to tell
the world there is, but I fear that
guided by the expesience of a few
correspondents in the past year,
there is no basis for the assertion
that the foreign press enjoys free
darn in Spain,” the correspondent
said.
